This Week's Read Should Be on Your Summer List: My Man Jeeves

May 28, 2017

Hi again! I'm back with another good read to put on your list in case you need to add to your already toppling-over stack next to your bed. My pile is currently seven books high, and that of course doesn't include what's in my Kindle and Audible queues. So many books . . .

If you're looking for summer books that are enjoyable but not extremely dumbed-down and you've never picked up a book by P.G. Wodehouse, then OH! I have the book for you!

Wodehouse wrote the classic 1920's comic novels about a young dandy and his butler, Jeeves. The language is intelligent and compelling (Wodehouse was quite a wordsmith), the plots slightly ridiculous and quintessentially British upper crust, and the comedy so often funny, I actually laugh out loud when I read them.

And if you love words, language, and turns of phrase, you will really love the genius of P.G. Wodehouse. Start with My Man Jeeves. This Kindle version is just .99 (and that's my affiliate link).

This Week's Read: New Morning Mercies

In the world of devotionals, it's difficult to find one that isn't bent on Christian behavior, or what we must do, or how we must perform. They can be exhausting and defeating at best; anti-Jesus at worst.

This Week's Read: The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

February 13, 2017

My goal for Monday posts about books and recommendations is simply to toss some titles out that have impacted me lately, and maybe let something hit your radar that you might not have considered before. {Affiliate links where appropriate.}

Every summer quite a lot of folks in our church read a biography together. Typically it's chosen by the pastoral staff and woven into a sermon or just discussed here and there as the opportunity arises. Because of mounting racial tensions in the United States and a desire to respond as Christ would, we read The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. this past summer.
